Spooky Science Prank - #chemistry #stemeducation #stevespangler

The blood isn't real, but the chemistry is the point. Steve Spangler's "Spooky Science Prank - #chemistry #stemeducation #stevespangler" uses goldenrod paper for its effect, turning a classroom science material into a spooky practical joke.

It was the bigger draw of Sick Science!'s two new uploads, reaching roughly 27,000 views. The comments reveal a practical curiosity beneath the prank: viewers want to know exactly which solution was used. Some offer their own guesses, but the description identifies the paper without naming the liquid.

Its companion, "Spooky Crystal Bubble," uses dry ice to make a smoke-filled bubble. That's familiar territory for Spangler: "Halloween Dry Ice Boo Bubbles," posted in 2009, remains the channel's most-watched regular video. This week's smaller bubble demonstration adds another variation to that long-running fascination.

Across the channel, viewing was a little below its usual daily level, with nearly half a million views added over the week and no change in subscribers. Nearby science channel JaDropping Science had a substantially larger viewing week, while Cody'sLab had a quieter one.

The strongest daily momentum here belongs to older experiments rather than the new spooky pair. "The Chocolate Milk Mystery" is the busiest, followed by "Making A Sandwich Out Of Only Liquid?" In the latter, density does the kitchen work, letting Steve build his liquid sandwich inside a tube.
